Artist Portrait

Marc Lawrence

US

A.k.a. Max Goldsmith

Marc Lawrence (February 17, 1910 – November 28, 2005) was an American character actor who specialized in underworld types. Lawrence's pock-marked complexion, brooding appearance and New York street-guy accent made him a natural for heavies, and he played scores of gangsters and mob bosses over the next six decades. When called before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he admitted he had once been a member of the Communist Party. He named Sterling Hayden, Lionel Stander, Anne Revere, Larry Parks, Karen Morley and Jeff Corey as Communists. He was blacklisted and departed for Europe, where he continued to make films. Following the demise of the blacklist, he returned to America and resumed his position as a familiar and talented purveyor of gangland types. He played gangsters in two James Bond movies: 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever" opposite Sean Connery, and 1974's "The Man with the Golden Gun" opposite Roger Moore. He also portrayed a henchman opposite Laurence Olivier in "Marathon Man" (1976) and a stereotypical Miami mob boss alongside Jerry Reed and Dom DeLuise in the comedy "Hot Stuff" (1979). One of his last roles was as Mr. Zeemo in the 1999 "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode "Badda-Bing Badda-Bang".
